Did you just get invited? There has been a lot of people saying they never received the email and did not know to look in forum. I knew to look and still started testing way later than others. I noticed props finally sent an email to all beta testers letting them know to look for download link in forums.

I kind of had mixed feelings about 8 but I guess it is growing on me.

1) I much prefer 7 GUI hands down. I think traditional hardware look is just more fitting. I really do not mind the grey colors with 8 but I hate the look of transport and tracks. Would be really cool if they would make transport like Reason 4 but more updated ya know. Just my opinion.

2) I do LOVE the new browser!! Some are complaining about losing the audition feature when that was never actually a Reason feature. More so just the way the files were handled. A couple work arounds are to duplicate the track and device so you can easily go back to the original patch or simply Ctrl Z after selecting/auditioning each new patch.

3) I also love the ability to double click a heading to maximize the Browser, Mixer, Rack and Sequencer.

4) I do not like the fact that the browser is attached to the sequencer screen only. I work with multiple displays and it is not the most ideal thing for the drag & drop feature when rack is detached on different screen. It would be nice to have the ability to tie the browser to Mixer or Rack. Mainly the Rack. Or a floating browser.

5) I like the small but new sequencer editing improvements.

6) From what I understand all betas are more resource hungry.

I have to say I will be upgrading regardless of the few negative points I made. I trust the changes that are being made and stand behind PH 100%. I think it is a great company and I plan to still be using Reason when I'm old and grey. Ya know like Reason 32 or something.
